I've had pain during bowel movements and constipation for 15 days with a little blood today. The doctor says it's a fissure and recommends surgery costing ?‚Äö¬π10,000. My dad earns ?‚Äö¬π10,000/month - is surgery really necessary at 17 or are there other options?

Fissure can often heal with ointments, sitz baths, and fiber‚Äîsurgery is not first-line at your age.

Question

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?
